We are happy to announce the release of version 2.0 of _Flying!_ New features: 1. Flight Within a Flight, or Fwaf - be ejected from your seat into the air, all within the comfort of an airplane. Two for the price of one! 2. Concussions. 3. Potentially lowered life expectancy.
@@dangerfly perhaps it is my ADHD but his gesticulations helped me understand the point he was getting at. People that stand relatively still are difficult to understand because they’re boring
@@JooceGooce So how would you pay attention to podcasts? I'm focusing on his goofy gestures instead of listening to him. It's like having a juggler talking about something totally unrelated to their movements.
There’s a reason they suggest keeping your seatbelt on unless you need to get up to go to the bathroom. You can’t easily put the belt on after you get a surprise drop and smash your melon on the ceiling.
Oh yes, I remember a flight to San Francisco in 1997. The captain put on the "fasten seat belt" sign and the flight attendants went to check that everybody complied. The plane was above the Santa Rosa mountains and the plane simply dropped about 500 m. That's worse than the wildest roller-coaster ride you can imagine. All went well, the plane landing in SF safely.
Oh my flight from Dallas to Palm Springs I was in the bathroom when we hit some turbulence. Amazed I made it out of the bathroom in one piece and not covered in piss. I was standing and luckily held onto the sink area. After the turbulence died down and I was able to walk without being thrown I went back to my seat. It was fun 😂 Remember to ALWAYS wear your seatbelt even if the lights are off unless you’re going to the bathroom. Like the importance of wearing your car seatbelt. You never know when something could happen
See, this is funny, because as someone who flies quite a bit, I feel like they are MUCH SMOOTHER. I remember way more turbulence in the past and only rarely experience it now.
It’s because they are smoother now. They do a better job of routing around or over turbulence. I have no clue why this video exists and I’m assuming someone who doesn’t fly regularly wrote it.
Windshear has been the cause of numerous accidents, some with body counts in the hundreds - and many of those windshear events were the product of one phenomenon: microbursts. These tiny (meteorologically speaking,) short-lived formations occur when a large mass of cool, dry air falls from a cloud and spreads out along the ground. The winds they create are some of the most treacherous to fly through - a fact that led directly to the development of brand new classes of weather radar and their deployment at airports - and on planes - around the world.
There are fewer accidents due to microbursts than there used to be. They are better understood, pilots are better trained, and equipment in planes and at airports is better at detecting it.
I remember SEVERE turbulence on a flight from Sydney to Los Angeles! It was so bad they cancelled all meal and drink service and until we landed safely at LAX.
The last time a commercial plane *maybe* crashed due to turbulence was in the 60s, and that’s only a maybe. We didn’t have the instrumentation to accurately record that kind of stuff back then. Turbulence feels a billion times scarier than the risk it actually puts you in. At a certain point you have to worry about things inside the cabin, but you’re not going to need to be concerned about what’s going on outside of it. I don’t recommend this for most people, but I tend to binge plane crash breakdown videos before I fly (just not the kinds that were televised, they’re too sensationalized). The industry historically takes safety extremely seriously, and that kind of video will always go into not only what went wrong, but how they fixed it so it wouldn't go wrong in the same way again. They also give a sense for how rare crashes actually are-imagine a world where people who were really into semi trucks generally knew the dates and license plates of at least a few notable crashes, and it was common for people who had been around a while or were just really into it to have a significant portion of them memorized and understood well enough to be able to draw parallels and tell you when there's nothing else it could be compared to.
I experienced once this "falling from your seat" sensation for a couple of seconds. Luckly I already had the belts fastened because there was no warning at all and some other unlucky passengers hit the head into the luggage compartment. A very _unpleasant_ event indeed.
If there is a problem in the economy, it probably traces back to Reagan. If there is a problem in the environment, it's probably related to global warming. Which is related to Reagan.
I used to carry a few bags onto the military flights, and would hold a half drunk plastic bottle to keep the level in it constant, despite what the plane was doing. That made many lose lunch, and I would give them a bag, and remind them to take it off the plane as well, because the flight crew should not have to clean up their mess. My friends worked at that base, and they did not appreciate the self loading cargo leaving chunky mess behind, because they then had to wash the floor, and vacuum out all the tie downs as well after, plus pull panels to clean under them as well. Clear plastic bags, which is what the transit hub provided. Me I never ate lunch before a flight, just have a light snack instead to carry on. But always stay hydrated, it reduces the reflex to hurl.
Flying less might not be such a good idea if you substitute your car, though. Unless you are driving an EV, your car will use much more fuel per seat traveling the same distance than a plane would. So maybe "travel less" might be more appropriate.
about thirty-five years ago I was taking an American eagle 22 seat plane from San Jose to South lake tahoe. we hit turbulence at the base of the sierras. haven't flown since
In 2010 I declared that the world becoming "smaller" (in the sense of travel -by air,sea or road-) Since then, borders have closed, wars have ignited making vast areas of the earth untravelable ,and of course nature has become a lot more unpredictable and dangerous. I was seeing the signs during my 10 year sail around. I was right. We were the last to enjoy cruising in a small yacht, crossing borders without any papers/passports,in (relatively) good conditions, which if compared to today's weather, was a piece of cake. no more than 1 reef all along 5he way, even I storms the wind was never more than 7-8 Beaufort The conditions we called storms ,are today's calm.
The is one question about the turbulence studies. Did they correct for the growth in miles flown in the last 50 years? The increase in turbulence events could be partially explained by the increase in the number of aircraft in the skies and the increase in miles flown.
I wondered about that too, but it was phrased as "amount of time spent in turbulent air per year" so I think that controls for increases in number of flights and miles flown (ETA: the paper cited is Prosser et al. 2023)
When these scientists at respected universities did a detailed statistical analysis of flights and dug into climate models, published after peer review in reputable journals, they did indeed think of looking at the rate of turbulence events per miles flown rather than total number. Astounding I know, that’s a sophisticated trick that my Sci Facts For Kids book told me only the smart kids think of!
@@lenabreijer1311 I am sure they did account for the growth in air travel and adjusted for it. But there is on type of turbulence that is only produced by aircraft, wake turbulence. Its reasonable to say that some of the increase in turbulence is caused by the increased traffic in the skies especially along heavily traveled routes.
Want a turbulent flight, go through summer storm cells at 7000 feet, because that is your flight ceiling. Next flight was at 30 000 feet, and I was able to eat the in flight meal no problem, though I did have to hold the tray down a little at the worst times, but it was nothing compared to that first leg.
And how did they control for the increase time spent in turbulence due to the increase of airplanes in the air? Increased traffic must have an impact on flight paths. leading to more pilots choosing to go through some turbulence.
Why I hate flying. I don’t care about the statistics, at the end of the day, you’re strapped in a chair in the sky with no control over your fate. That coupled with hating the feeling of falling from turbulence, not a great time.
I'm curious how many people are going to listen to the last part in conclude that they'll drive over flying, then claim that their somehow saving the environment?
More flights than ever per year compared to previous decades. More flights lights in the air means they will experience turbulence more often. In 1980, 0.8 billion passengers flew on airlines, in 2020 it was 4.6 billion according to the IEA. I’ve never been on a plane that didn’t experience turbulence of some form. The climate has always been changing long before humans and will be long after humans.
This is what I was going to say! I said something similar to the guy next to me on a flight once with really bad turbulence and the lady across the aisle gave me a death glare.
Is the increase in turbulence experience due to increase in flight hours. Is it like a percentage relationship thing or is it we've had a hundred turbulent flight hours with 100 planes oh boy we got 1,000 planes now so we have a thousand hours of turbulent flight so there's more turbulent flight or is it a based on percentage thing
These “models“ don’t even explain the past with any degree of accuracy, what makes me think they can predict the future? Give up the “everything is global warming” nonsense.
I distrust the study of turbulence over the past 40 years. Without details of how such things are recorded its guess. Also policy changes of airlines. 40 years ago it may have been acceptable to fly 30km out of the way of a minor storm whereas today with better made aircraft and more expensive fuel its not acceptable. Statitstics can be made to say whatever you want it to say. As can computer models. Alls this tells me is that someone needs more grant money from the government to study airflow.
Will guess you are right to a great extent, more modern planes, and airlines that are more likely to punish pilots who decide to divert due to weather, leading to many more less than optimal approaches, plus also much increased traffic as well, meaning that those slots to land are shorter, and the airlines push to be there on time every time. There are not many airlines left who support the pilots making diversions around weather to avoid turbulence, they all say they support safety, till it affects profits.
@SeanBZA it's always a trade-off. I read something once that I have to paraphrase now bc I don't remember the exact numbers but went something like this. We spend the 1st billion dollars to make the space shuttle 80% safe. We spend the 2nd billion dollars to get it up to 90% safe. The 3rd billion gets that number up to 92% safe. If we spent another billion dollars it will only make it 0.6% safer.
Flown lots of times and started to hate it more and more. My last flight the turbulence was so bad we had to do an emergency landing. The people freaking out on the plane certainly didn't help.
Love being in the air, had a chance to ride shotgun in a stunt plane as a kid and loved the hell outta it, but i hate airports and commercial air travel
Why not provide both units of measurements when making these videos? I'm not pausing to go google however much 54 meters is and i'm sure most of your Audience using Feet and Miles.
"most of your audience" Americans make up far less than 1/4 of English speakers in the world and you are literally the ONLY G20 COUNTRY who is still using imperial measurements. But even within your own country, scientific work is generally done in metric because it calculates more straightforwardly and can be shared with the global science community, so science is in metric. (Sincerely a 40-something Canadian who has been using both systems my whole life because we live next to you even though we all switched to metric generations ago -_-; if we have to learn imperial for ONE country the least you can do is learn metric for the LITERAL REST OF THE WORLD. Sorry but you need to get over yourselves :)
@@MindMelding-t5e I believe the opposite is the real question. How many people die in car accidents compared to plane accidents. Way more fatal car accidents in one day than fatal plane accidents in one year.

There is an app for that, it is called "wearing a seatbelt "
"That's one of the benefits of being on the ground, you don't have to worry about turbulence"
* Earth quake hits *
The way this guy shakes and gestures you'd think there was an earthquake... or maybe he's trying to flap hard enough to fly.
Or even just a storm
"That's one of the benefits to being on the sea, you don't have to worry about earthquakes"

There’s a reason they suggest keeping your seatbelt on unless you need to get up to go to the bathroom. You can’t easily put the belt on after you get a surprise drop and smash your melon on the ceiling.
Lack of turbulence: one of many advantages to the humble train.

I've flown twice in the last 25 years. I think I'm already cut back...
Same here
So, we’ve got turbulence in the air and chaos on the ground. Turns out even the clouds are mad at us for the climate crisis.

Who would have thought: following safety regulations actually helps!
Best part of flying
Turbulence, taking off, and landing
In 2010 I declared that the world becoming "smaller" (in the sense of travel -by air,sea or road-)

Just another reason for airlines to charge for 'turbulence-free seating'
Also, if you don't fly, you don't have to worry about being on a Boeing.
Fair observation.
Boeing, as well as Airbus, are all extremely safe aircraft. You vastly overestimate the incident rate umong commercial aircraft.
@@Slimeacation Google "sarcasm".
One of the many reasons why I take the train for regional trips
And how did they control for the increase time spent in turbulence due to the increase of airplanes in the air? Increased traffic must have an impact on flight paths. leading to more pilots choosing to go through some turbulence.
I fly a lot and there’s rarely any turbulence any more.
"Coughed it up completely! And it wasn't light weight stuff... It was that chunky industrial waste puke!"
🖖😎👍
Being on the ground doesn't preclude one from being affected by turbulence. If turbulence knocks a plane from the sky and it lands on you ... we'll.
Just to be a butt, we can still experience turbulence on the ground. We usually call them earthquakes
"One of the safest ways to travel."
"How many ways are there?"
"Hey, shut up."
Huh… haven’t noticed a difference recently. I fly to Europe and up and down the west coast.
Reason #1,973 why north america needs to build high speed rail...
I've flown on one round trip across the country, and I was lucky to not experience turbulence.
I hate turbulence!! and it scares me too, Thank you for making me even more anxious about boarding a plane XD
I fly a lot and i haven't felt any turbulence in a long while.
Would bringing back supersonic flight make turbulence less of an issue? Does moving that quick make a difference to how smooth a ride it would be?
Why I hate flying. I don’t care about the statistics, at the end of the day, you’re strapped in a chair in the sky with no control over your fate. That coupled with hating the feeling of falling from turbulence, not a great time.
Is the reportedincrease number related to increased air traffic (reports per flight), or geography (actual air motion studies)?
I'm curious how many people are going to listen to the last part in conclude that they'll drive over flying, then claim that their somehow saving the environment?
Don't have to worry about turbulence on the ground? What is an earthquake if not ground turbulence though?
It's been a long time since watched a video right after it's posted. Great video though
if I don't fly I'll never get turbulence
On the ground I have to worry about the ground, aka earthquakes
More flights than ever per year compared to previous decades. More flights lights in the air means they will experience turbulence more often. In 1980, 0.8 billion passengers flew on airlines, in 2020 it was 4.6 billion according to the IEA. I’ve never been on a plane that didn’t experience turbulence of some form. The climate has always been changing long before humans and will be long after humans.
Would love to fly less, but the alternatives are sadly either a mess or all but non-existent.
This guy might be causing some of the turbulence.
I think turbulence is great. You pay for a plane flight and get a roller coaster thrown in.
This is what I was going to say! I said something similar to the guy next to me on a flight once with really bad turbulence and the lady across the aisle gave me a death glare.
There is also a lot more flights then there used to be so you would expect more turbulence cases
No one even though it wasn't climate change and possibly the increase of air traffic/ land changes? Just asking for the whole picture.
After decades of saying flying is the safest way to travel, maybe we should switch to reminding people about cosmic rays and sky-bear attacks.
Cosmic rays let the pilots see what they’re doing, and Mr. Skybear is everyone’s friend!
Hmm?
Mhm
My answer is to not fly
thats crazy, those bumps in the air
Is the increase in turbulence experience due to increase in flight hours. Is it like a percentage relationship thing or is it we've had a hundred turbulent flight hours with 100 planes oh boy we got 1,000 planes now so we have a thousand hours of turbulent flight so there's more turbulent flight or is it a based on percentage thing
These “models“ don’t even explain the past with any degree of accuracy, what makes me think they can predict the future? Give up the “everything is global warming” nonsense.
more particles in the air. forest fires, carbon emissions.
Yeh duh
I distrust the study of turbulence over the past 40 years. Without details of how such things are recorded its guess. Also policy changes of airlines. 40 years ago it may have been acceptable to fly 30km out of the way of a minor storm whereas today with better made aircraft and more expensive fuel its not acceptable. Statitstics can be made to say whatever you want it to say. As can computer models. Alls this tells me is that someone needs more grant money from the government to study airflow.
Will guess you are right to a great extent, more modern planes, and airlines that are more likely to punish pilots who decide to divert due to weather, leading to many more less than optimal approaches, plus also much increased traffic as well, meaning that those slots to land are shorter, and the airlines push to be there on time every time. There are not many airlines left who support the pilots making diversions around weather to avoid turbulence, they all say they support safety, till it affects profits.

I'd rather parachute from a plane than land in one.
Based on the safety and maintenance of Boeing planes we all know how much worse…
I'll drive my Hummer across the US instead of flying since you said flying contributes to greenhouse gases.
Probably still less damaging for the environment.

Hi Tom!

I hope airplane manufacturers will go back to hire qualified people rather than quotas
You’re right. Stop hiring that quota of inexperienced MBA grads just because they have an MBA.
They're no different than they've ever been. A good pilot will change altitude to try to avoid it.
